RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: libvirt-0.9.4-13.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause libvirt reloads the domain configuration from status XML (e.g. /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$domain.xml) if the status XML exists (means the domain is running) when restarting. However, it doesn't record the original domain configuration in this situation. Consequence it's not able to restore the domain configuration to the original one when destroying and shutdown. The user will see the not persistent attached devices still exists after restarting libvirtd. Fix Record the original domain configuration by assigning persistent domain configuration to dom->newDef if it's NULL and the domain is running. Result The not persistent attached device will not exist after libvirtd is restarted, which is the correct logic.

Cause
    libvirt reloads the domain configuration from status XML (e.g. /var/run/libvirt/qemu/$domain.xml) if the status XML exists (means the domain is running) when restarting. However, it doesn't record the original domain configuration in
this situation.

Consequence
     it's not able to restore the domain configuration to the original one when destroying and shutdown. The user will see
the not persistent attached devices still exists after restarting
libvirtd.  

Fix
   Record the original domain configuration by assigning persistent domain configuration to dom->newDef if it's NULL and the domain is running.

Result
   The not persistent attached device will not exist after libvirtd is restarted, which is the correct logic.
